The selection process will consist of document screening, review by outside experts, and on-site inspections.

Vehicle Sharing is Korea Technology Group's flagship social contribution project and began in 2008. Including this year's support, the cumulative number of vehicles provided is expected to rise to 682.
Last year, Korea Technology Group provided vehicle support to low-income households and introduced 'Vehicle Sharing 2.0,' a model linked to a vehicle-sharing platform, in the same year. 'Vehicle Sharing 2.0' aims to support economic self-reliance, and this year it is being operated alongside the existing project that seeks to improve mobility convenience for users of welfare facilities.
Korea Technology Group said it hopes this round of vehicle support will help the daily lives of neighbors with limited mobility. It also said it plans to expand mobility-based social contribution into the Mobility-Tech sector and create differentiated social value linked to the group's high-tech direction.
